the current issue of Science relative to the pre-
vention of sea sickness, and remarks that in

vented IAN attack of sea-scknesS in himself by

Gently. On Sunday, the day before the explo-
sion, he was much depressed in spirits, and told
| his wife that he feared some great calamity.

THE strenuous efforts noted geographical
publishing house of Brussels has just been max
| ing to issue large map of the Congo indepen-
dent State afford an amusing illustration of the
| rapid progress of discovery in that part of the
world. Nearly three months ago it was an
nounced that the map would be published in
| two weeks. On the eve of printing some new
| discoveries were announced and publication was
| deferred in order to put them on the map.
| Later news from the Congo, such as Van Geles

| interesting that the photographers really could
| not think OF issuing their map without them,
| and so there further delays. The map was
positively announced for last week, but by the
! time it reaches this country it will not be sur
| prising if it is trife behind the times.

musician, sat down to the piano few evenings
ago after the Empress had retired to her apart
ments for the night, and played, among other
she was finishing the last bars the Empress sud
denly appeared at the door of the room. She
gave piercing cry, uttered her husbands name
and fell senseless on the floor This is the first
indication which she has given for several years
of any Renaissance of the terrible catastrophe
which cost her the loss of reason; and her ply
sicians base favorable antcipationS on the
incident.

his moustache is clipped in a straight line across
his mouth, and each separate hair has much
of an independent existence as the Quills of a
porcupine. He lowered and glared upon the

after bull and decretal after decretal were
turned over, ventilated and disposed of with as
much light grace and ease as Nine. de Sevigne
showed in tedding new mown hay. For a mo
ment the Nuncio thought he must be the victim
of a practical joke, which, as the carnival had
begun, it had pleased Gambetta to play. and
that he was seated next q doctor of divinity
dressed up as a lady; but pair of splendid
shoulders and pair OF mstrous ox-eyes showed
him that his passing suspicion was unfounded.
So he said: when had the honor of being pre-
scented to you, madame your name ESCAPED me.
